For the family of Christian Boyle, the grief of his unsolved murder is compounded by a lack of transparency. While convictions were secured in the Birmingham murder of Terrell Guy Jr.—the crime Christian witnessed—his own case in Blount County has remained at a standstill for eight years.

In the conclusion of this series, we speak with Christian's twin Brandon about his transformation from grieving Marine to self-taught legal advocate. By studying Alabama legal code and filing persistent public records requests, Brandon is demanding proof the investigation is active. We explore the barriers families face when seeking transparency in cold cases and Kerry's ongoing appeal for witnesses to break their silence after eight years.

Today, we're sharing a preview of The Final Hours, a true crime podcast from Crime House, powered by PAVE Studios.

Hosted by Sarah Turney and Kourtney Nichole, The Final Hours examines the moments just before a person disappears. The routines. The timelines. And the small details that often get overlooked, until it's too late.

Sarah is an advocate for missing and murdered victims whose sister disappeared in 2001. Kourtney is a true crime storyteller and investigator who witnessed firsthand how crime can change a family forever. Together, they bring lived experience into every case, looking not only at what happened, but what led up to it.

Eighteen-year-old Christian Boyle was a fixture in his small town of Cleveland, Alabama. A fraternal twin who was "smart as a whip," Christian spent his days working construction and helping his mother, Kerry, care for his quadriplegic father. But when he failed to show up for laundry and missed his usual goodnight text on December 12, 2017, his family knew something was wrong.

In the first episode of this two-part series, we detail the 13-day search across the rural backroads of Blount County and the systemic delays that left a family hunting for answers on their own. We examine the devastating discovery made on Christmas night and the emergence of a shocking lead: Christian had been an unarmed witness to a homicide in Birmingham just 48 hours before he vanished.

We continue our coverage of the disappearance of Pepita Redhair, who was last seen at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Pepita Madelyn Redhair, a young woman who grew up in Crownpoint on the Navajo Nation reservation, longed for adventure. Still, she stayed incredibly close to her family, despite living 140 miles away in Albuquerque. When Pepita suddenly went silent on March 27, 2020, her mother Anita King knew something was terribly wrong. The response she received from law enforcement launched her family into a nearly six-year fight for answers that highlights issues with investigation of IPV (intimate partner violence) and the broader crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women and relatives (MMIWR/MMIP)—and the systemic failures that leave families searching on their own.

Anyone with information about Pepita's disappearance is asked to contact Albuquerque Police Department: 505-768-2020 or the Bernalillo County District Attorney's Office: 505-222-1101 There is a 3,000 dollar reward in her case.

Today, we're sharing the first episode of Safe to Drink, a new podcast series from the Pulitzer Prize-finalist Document team at New Hampshire Public Radio.

When residents of a New Hampshire town discover their drinking water is contaminated with PFAS, chemicals linked to serious health risks, they are told there is no cause for alarm. But as illnesses mount and questions go unanswered, families begin to push back.

Hosted by NHPR climate reporter Mara Hoplamazian, Safe to Drink investigates how environmental contamination is handled when the science is evolving, regulations lag behind, and responsibility is diffuse. Through deep reporting and personal stories, the series examines who bears the burden when systems fail to act.

If you care about accountability, environmental justice, and the people fighting to be heard, this story will feel familiar and urgent.

Regular guest and Accredited Investigative Genetic Genealogist (AIGG) Cairenn Binder speaks with us about a current event that has shaken up the world of Forensic Investigative Genetic Genealogy (FIGG/IGG) world: an update in the language of Ancestry.com's TOS regarding access to historical records and family trees.

Many investigators and genealogists feel this may have a major impact on cold cases, and on work already in progress to identify John and Jane Does/unidentified human remains and suspects in open homicide investigations.

Danny Harris, a 55-year-old Air National Guard veteran, was murdered in his Tennessee apartment in 2007. Andrew Wayne Hayes, a man with an intellectual disability, confessed after a 27-hour interrogation and was sentenced to life in prison.

But podcaster Stephanie Tinsley believes the wrong person is in prison. Her investigation "Everything They Missed" has uncovered confession contradictions, untested DNA evidence, and investigative failures pointing to other suspects. Stephanie discusses her real-time investigation and her theory about who really killed Danny Harris, her introduction to the Tennessee Innocence Project, and the world of wrongful convictions.
